Here at Attingham Park access to the deer park is not available because there have been cases of Bovine TB, and the deer are being culled. We didn't even have the privilege of listening to and seeing the rut. At weekends it is possible to walk on the other side of the river Tern but certain areas are still out of bounds. We haven't seen deer here for almost 4 weeks now.

The deer park was established in the early 1800s by 2nd Lord Berwick and is home to the Attingham fallow deer, which are descendants of the original deer herd. I hope they are soon able to eliminate the TB, and allow us the pleasure of the full 4 mile walk around the parkland and woodland.
